TheEvan Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Enjoyed the Diaz clip, Andy. I have played a smattering of Lauro and every bit of it is great fun. I love the interplay of 6/8 against 3/4 in all of his Venuelan waltzes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschguy Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Evan, Glad you liked it. I play some Flamenco stuff which, as you know, is typically written in 3/4, but carries the beat of 6/8. There is some great classical guitar stuff on youtube.com. What a great instrument! A bit lengthy, but check this one out. The second piece (@ 5min 30 sec) Yepes performs on his venerable 10 string is outstanding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiCIpbwPJkA&search=classical%20guitar Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipschguy Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Very nice, Evan. That four handed guitar playing was insane in the membrane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I haven't found anything more phenomenal than this one minute and 36 second performance of Chopin by piano legend Sviatoslav Richter: OK, that's awesome- and it's real speed too, I mean not sped up at all? That rocks! what a nearly impossible piece of music to perform! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Absolutely, just as my piano brother wrote me after watching it: This etude is incredibly difficult at any quick speed, not to mention the speed Richter played it. I love the showmanship in the very start, Richter throwing his handkerchief to the piano top after wiping any sweat off his fingers, and rushing into the piece before the handkerchief has even settled. And a great camera angle. I think this clip probably comes from a documentary on him, Richter: The Enigma. It's out of print in America. It's available on DVD in the rest of the world, but not available as a Region 1 DVD. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004CXNY/qid=1150989361/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/102-1078092-3191364?s=dvd&v=glance&n=130 Contrary to the impression of this short piece, Richter was not usually a speed demon. He was intense but usually restrained--he held back to play what the music called for instead of taking great liberties with tempo. I was particularly struck by what an amazon reviewer wrote: "He had no need for material wealth or common creature comforts (many artists *say* this, but how many of them would sleep happily underneath their teacher's piano night after night?)"

TheEvan Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Allan, while you're at it, I think you missed my previous question to you on this thread... Do you know the personnel with "Trane on the Naima clip you posted? (It's fabulous!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Jimmy Garrison--bass McCoy Tyner--piano Elvin Jones--drums The greatest "working" quartet of all time! The depth of emotion in their playing is unfathomable. I have a hard time discussing Coltrane--this music hits me at a level that leaves me breathless and speechless for the most part. An interviewer asked Elvin a couple of years before he passed what made the quartet so special and he said "all three of us were willling to DIE for that motherf*cker every single night--night after night." When you watch this video you start to understand what he meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
